Synopsis

Beyond Goodbye An original short film woven by director Yuji Kakizaki (Seppuku：The Sun Goes Down),
based on an extraordinary script left behind by TARAKO, the beloved voice actress of Japan.

Shoko awakened in an unfamiliar place.
As the sound of cicadas echoed around her, she wandered in confusion and witnessed a suffocating web of human relationships unfold in a single place.
Amid them, Shoko began to sense something strange.
It seemed that no one could see her anymore—

As Toru, a young man, waited for his lover, an unfamiliar woman named Seiko suddenly appeared before him.
Her overly familiar manner unsettled him, then Seiko quietly began to speak—
confessing that she once chose to stop living, in a voice almost unnervingly calm.
Having crossed an invisible boundary to meet, the two confronted the time they had lost and began to contemplate what it truly meant to keep on loving.
